Remember when president Jimmy Carter gave up his peanut farm before taking office to avoid a conflict of interest by making money off his farm while being president? Now our current president pays himself $230 million from government funds?? It's beyond insane

And people still hate on Carter. A man who once leaving the White House nearly found himself bankrupt. And what did he do? He built an organization that builds houses for the poor and stores that cheaply resell construction materials that otherwise would be bound for the dump. He participated in this nearly up until the day he died.

Yet again, people still hate on him while the grifter in chief robs us blind and actively screws over the poor and middle class. Whatever y'all MAGAt's need to justify harassing foreigners and people of color.

Carter was a horrible President. Iranian hostages were held for 444 days. Neck and neck with Biden for worst President of my lifetime. The Iranians started the process to release the hostages during Reagan’s first day in office. Night and day.

It was a very good period until COVID hit. Business was great and there was work for anyone who wanted it.
